If you listened to episode #23, you’ll recall Hélène Huby, CEO of The Exploration Company, said Geraldine Naja is “at the core of the transformation” of the European Space Agency. From our conversation with her, you’ll find out she’s exactly that - and more.

Geraldine’s unparalleled knowledge is a result of over 30 years of industry experience at ESA. We spoke with her about the usual: the future of space, promising potential use cases, fostering a healthy ecosystem. But Geraldine always delivered engaging answers - developing our questions - and raising important ones herself.

“I promised you, Sven,” said our co-host Daniel, after Sven pointed out how much he enjoyed James' ideas. “…I could talk to James for hours.”

James' unwavering passion for satellite imaging, and his company Skywatch, is almost tangible. Originally a side project allowing astrophysicists to access data from NASA observatories in near real-time, Skywatch catapulted James into the industry after garnering investor and media interest in 2014. Now a business with over 800 customers globally, Skywatch, through James' leadership, is a company worth admiring in the new space sector.

Our hosts Daniel and Sven, co-founders and CEOs of LiveEO, host a live NewSpaceVision special from our October 2022 meetup, recorded at LiveEO’s brand new office. 

How do investors think - what do they look for when funding a company? Should one even seek investment or is it actually better to bootstrap a business? We deep dive into these questions with newspace veteran Tom Segert, founder and CEO of Berlin Space Technologies; Andreas Kupke, tech entrepreneur & investor; and Lukas Leitner, analyst and venture capitalist at Lakestar.

Our founders Daniel Seidel and Sven Przywarra discuss AWS Aerospace with its EMEA department head, Guido Baraglia. 

Three years ago, Amazon Web Services launched their space and satellite business unit. With his extensive record in the aerospace industry, it’s no surprise that Guido became department head in early 2022. “It is a matter of not letting the train go by without jumping on board,” he says, in regards to his new position.

The enthusiasm Guido brings to his work at AWS is the same energy he brings to NewSpace. In this conversation, Guido provides a glimpse into the source of his motivation and offers exclusive insights into our increasingly NewSpace dependent world.

Listen to this episode to discover how AWS is making history by leading innovation – with its customer-centric approach to cloud operations, its hyper data-driven mindset and its ambitious vision for the future.

Matthias heads up the BDI’s Department of International Cooperation, Security Policy, Raw Materials and Space – but the work he does extends far beyond the long title. Matthias speaks about one key effort, the German NewSpace Initiative, which he helped found and continues to manage. Having played a key role in its development, Matthias reveals its core mission and what more needs to be done to support the industry.

In this insane NewSpace journey, entrepreneur Scott Larson discusses being called upon to raise $500k CAD to seed his first project with Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos), acquiring his previous company's assets and turning them into a flourishing startup, and the intricate technology behind his company's success. "...there is an inherent appreciation of space, I suppose, and the longer you're in it, the more addicted you get to it," Larson reflects. His newspace entrypoint was, as he describes, opportunistic - but Larson now leads a wildly successful company at the center of the Earth observation industry.

In this episode, Mark Kugel, Co-founder and Co-CEO of microgravity research company Yuri (yes, it’s as fascinating as it sounds), explains how his startup enables researchers to conduct experiments in low gravity - while in orbit around the Earth - and why this has such special benefits. Yuri enables research but also wants to conduct it itself - perhaps even growing organs in space unaffected by the constraints of gravity on Earth. 

You’ll also hear about the challenges Yuri faced, why small companies hold the power to disrupt the market, and what’s in store for the future of space innovation.
